Reported encounters with ghosts and the unexplained

Rob Gandy brings together accounts presented as true ghost encounters, spanning roadside apparitions, places associated with repeated hauntings, and reported “timeslips” in which people experience scenes from the past. The collection also notes Gandy’s background as a statistician and frames the stories without taking a stated position on their explanation, leaving readers to consider the accounts themselves. A foreword by folklorist and urban legend researcher Jan Harold Brunvand is included in this edition.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • For readers interested in ghost stories and reports of hauntings.
  • For those curious about folklore, urban legends, and unexplained experiences.
  • For readers interested in accounts presented for open-minded consideration rather than a single stated explanation.

Book overview

"Nothing will be the same again after reading this book" - Jeremy Harte, Folklore Society.

"A collection of uncanny tales in the classic folklorist tradition, Real Ghost Encounters provides a trove of new cases to puzzle over." - Matthew Kibbey, Editor FATE Magazine

The world is filled with strange occurrences that we can't explain with our rational minds. An odd feeling, a sudden appearance, a haunting figure in the distance...

At one time or another, many of us have encountered what we might describe as a 'ghost'. In this fascinating collection, author Rob Gandy makes use of his background as a statistician to try to understand the phenomenon and presents without judgement a wide range of true ghost stories. Ranging from mysterious hitchhikers who appear on the side of the road to haunted places where spirits crop up again and again to instances of 'timeslips', where a person or group of people suddenly experience a scene from the past, these incredible stories will reshape your understanding of the supernatural.

Take an open mind to the stories presented within and judge for yourself whether there can be any other explanation for these extraordinary events.

This edition includes a foreword from leading folklorist and urban legend researcher Jan Harold Brunvand.
